Johannes Knolleisen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Knolleisen was born in the 15th century in Allenstein (Olsztyn) in Warmia.

Nothing is known about his parents and his youth. He had received his magister degree in theology from the University of Leipzig. In 1489, Knolleisen was canon at Merseburg Cathedral in Merseburg. From at least 1512, Knolleisen and Lucas David supported poor students from Allenstein and East Prussia with stipends to help them study.
